DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The description that follows includes systems, methods, techniques,instruction sequences, and computing machine program products thatembody illustrative embodiments of the disclosure. In the followingdescription, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific detailsare set forth in order to provide an understanding of variousembodiments of the inventive subject matter. It will be evident,however, to those skilled in the art, that embodiments of the inventivesubject matter may be practiced without these specific details. Ingeneral, well-known instruction instances, protocols, structures, andtechniques are not necessarily shown in detail.

While navigating on an online environment, users may browse variouswebsites using multiple devices, such as, for example, mobile phones,tablets, desktops, laptops, and wearable devices. Some of these devicesmay be private (e.g., belong to a particular user or user's family),while other devices may be public (e.g., library computers). Becauseusers may view certain devices as more secure than others, it is notuncommon for users to prefer to provide personal or confidential data(e.g., data that the user does not want freely accessible by others suchas a password, a Personal Identification Number (PIN), or financialinformation) only with some particular devices. An inference may be madethat if a user chooses to provide data from a particular device, theuser trusts the particular device for secured data exchange (e.g., apayment). The social behavior of providing data only with certainpreferred devices is viewed as having negative implications for somewebsites as many potential transactions are never completed by theusers.

In some embodiments, a user browses websites (e.g., looks for an itemonline) using a first device, but provides personal or confidential data(e.g., makes a payment for the item) using a second device. For example,the user may, using the first device, first add the searched item to alist (e.g., a wish list, a cart, etc.), and then, using the seconddevice, view the list, select the item, and make a payment for the itemfrom the second device. However, often the user forgets to make apayment for the selected item and, therefore, fails to complete atransaction that the user may have intended. It may be beneficial forthe online store to employ a system that reminds the user to finalizethe intended transaction. In response to a prompt transmitted by thesystem to a device trusted by the user, the user may make the paymentfor the selected item from the trusted device. Accordingly, aredirecting system may facilitate a redirection of a transaction (e.g.,a payment) to a device that the user trusts to be used for payments.

In some example embodiments, a user logs in to a web site (e.g., a website of a publication system). The login information of the user anddevice-specific details (e.g., IP address, Subscriber Identity Module(SIM) card number, etc.) pertaining to the device used by the user tolog in to the web site are collected by the redirecting system. Theredirecting system maps these details to a user profile associated withthe user and stored in a record of database.

The redirecting system may also collect device-specific data for otherdevices that the user has used to connect to the web site. The user maybe given an option to enter additional information for one or moredevices (e.g., a mobile phone number) which the redirecting systemcollects and associated with the user in an information record. Theredirecting system may prompt the user to provide the mobile phonenumber when the user logs into the web site or, alternatively oradditionally, when the user enters profile information at the web site(e.g., when the user opens an account or provides billing or shippinginformation). Receiving the mobile number helps to provide betternotifications through modem-based message services such as but notlimited to SMS or MMS.

In some example embodiments, an information record associated with theuser includes identifiers of one or more devices used by the user topreviously access the web site, and information pertaining to whetherparticular devices were previously used to complete a transaction (e.g.,make payments). For example, the user John Smith may be associated withan information record that includes the following information: mobile 1identifier (ID) (e.g., SIM card 1 ID), used for payment, date ofpayment, mobile phone number; mobile 2 ID (e.g., SIM card 2 ID); desktopID (e.g., IP address), used for payment, date of payment; tablet 1 ID(e.g., SIM card 3 ID), used for payment, date of payment, tablet ID.This information can be collected through user agent information that issent by device and is accessible via web/native application.

In certain example embodiments, the redirecting system provides the userwith a page for selecting a device for later notification (e.g., a laterpayment notification). The device selection page may be a user interfacethat references one or more devices previously used by the user forpayments and that allows the user to select a particular device.Alternatively or additionally, the device selection page may display auser interface field in which the user can enter data identifying adevice which the user has not yet used for payment but which is trustedby the user for future payments.

The device selection page may be provided to the user at various times.In some instances, the redirecting system provides the device selectionpage to the user when the user sets up the user's profile at the website. Additionally or alternatively, the redirecting system provides thedevice selection page to the user when the user is leaving a paymentpage associated with a product or service or when the user logs in againto the web site. For example, the user navigates to the payment page fora product or service using a public computer (e.g., a library computer).The user does not trust the public computer to make a payment for theproduct or service. Upon the user leaving the web site (e.g., navigatingaway from the payment page), the redirecting system transmits anotification to the public computer stating “Would you like to completethe transaction (e.g., make the payment) on Mobile 1 or Tablet 1?” Theuser may select Tablet 1. Based on the user's selection, a communicationincluding the user's selection is transmitted to the redirecting system.The redirecting system sends a further communication that includes anotification (e.g., a reminder to complete the payment for the productor service) to Tablet 1. The notification may include a Uniform ResourceLocator (also “URL”) for the payment page referencing the product orservice.

In some instances, the redirecting system facilitates the completion ofthe transaction by the user without further authentication of the user.For example, based on a prior authentication of the user (e.g., the userproviding correct login information to access the web site), theredirecting system transmits, to a device trusted for payment, thecommunication that includes the URL to the payment page referencing theproduct or service previously viewed by the user. Based on a selection(e.g., a click) by the user of the URL, the redirecting system causes adisplay of the payment page on the device trusted for payment andaccepts payment for the product or service without requesting the userto provide authentication data.

In some example embodiments, if the user makes a payment from aparticular device that has not been previously used for a payment, theredirecting system updates the information record associated with theuser to record that the particular device is trusted by the user forsecure data exchange.

With reference to FIG. 1, an example embodiment of a high-levelclient-server-based network architecture 100 is shown. A networkedsystem 102, in the example forms of a publication system or paymentsystem, provides server-side functionality via a network 104 (e.g., theInternet or wide area network (WAN)) to one or more client devices 110.FIG. 1 illustrates, for example, a web client 112 (e.g., a browser, suchas the Internet Explorer® browser developed by Microsoft® Corporation ofRedmond, Wash. State), a client application 114, and a programmaticclient 116 executing on client device 110.

The client device 110 may comprise, but is not limited to, a mobilephone, desktop computer, laptop, portable digital assistants (PDAs),smart phones, tablets, ultra books, netbooks, laptops, multi-processorsystems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, gameconsoles, set-top boxes, a wearable device, a smart watch, or any othercommunication device that a user may utilize to access the networkedsystem 102. In some embodiments, the client device 110 may comprise adisplay module (not shown) to display information (e.g., in the form ofuser interfaces). In further embodiments, the client device 110 maycomprise one or more of a touch screens, accelerometers, gyroscopes,cameras, microphones, global positioning system (GPS) devices, and soforth. The client device 110 is a device of a user that can be used toperform a transaction involving digital items within the networkedsystem 102. In one embodiment, the networked system 102 comprises anetwork-based marketplace that responds to requests for productlistings, publishes publications comprising item listings of products orservices available on the network-based marketplace, and managespayments for these marketplace transactions. One or more portions ofnetwork 104 may be an ad hoc network, an intranet, an extranet, avirtual private network (VPN), a local area network (LAN), a wirelessLAN (WLAN), a wide area network (WAN), a wireless WAN (WWAN), ametropolitan area network (MAN), a portion of the Internet, a portion ofthe Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), a cellular telephonenetwork, a wireless network, a WiFi network, a WiMax network, anothertype of network, or a combination of two or more such networks.

Each of the client device 110 may include one or more applications (alsoreferred to as “apps”) such as, but not limited to, a web browser,messaging application, electronic mail (email) application, ane-commerce site application (also referred to as a marketplaceapplication), and the like. In some embodiments, if the e-commerce siteapplication is included in a given one of the client device 110, thenthis application is configured to locally provide the user interface andat least some of the functionalities with the application configured tocommunicate with the networked system 102, on an as needed basis, fordata or processing capabilities not locally available (e.g., access to adatabase of items available for sale, to authenticate a user, to verifya method of payment). Conversely if the e-commerce site application isnot included in the client device 110, the client device 110 may use itsweb browser to access the e-commerce site (or a variant thereof) hostedon the networked system 102.

One or more users 106 may be a person, a machine, or other means ofinteracting with the client device 110. In example embodiments, the user106 is not part of the network architecture 100, but may interact withthe network architecture 100 via the client device 110 or other means.For instance, the user provides input (e.g., touch screen input oralphanumeric input) to the client device 110 and the input iscommunicated to the networked system 102 via the network 104. In thisinstance, the networked system 102, in response to receiving the inputfrom the user, communicates information to the client device 110 via thenetwork 104 to be presented to the user. In this way, the user caninteract with the networked system 102 using the client device 110.

An application program interface (API) server 120 and a web server 122are coupled to, and provide programmatic and web interfaces respectivelyto, one or more application servers 140. The application servers 140 mayhost one or more publication systems 142 and payment systems 144, eachof which may comprise one or more modules or applications and each ofwhich may be embodied as hardware, software, firmware, or anycombination thereof. The application servers 140 are, in turn, shown tobe coupled to one or more database servers 124 that facilitate access toone or more information storage repositories or database(s) 126. In anexample embodiment, the databases 126 are storage devices that storeinformation to be posted (e.g., publications or listings) to thepublication system 120. The databases 126 may also store digital iteminformation in accordance with example embodiments.

Additionally, a third party application 132, executing on third partyserver(s) 130, is shown as having programmatic access to the networkedsystem 102 via the programmatic interface provided by the API server120. For example, the third party application 132, utilizing informationretrieved from the networked system 102, supports one or more featuresor functions on a website hosted by the third party. The third partywebsite, for example, provides one or more promotional, marketplace, orpayment functions that are supported by the relevant applications of thenetworked system 102.

The publication system 142 provides a number of publication functionsand services to users 106 that access the networked system 102. Thepayment system 144 likewise provides a number of functions to perform orfacilitate payments and transactions. While the publication system 142and payment system 144 are shown in FIG. 1 to both form part of thenetworked system 102, it will be appreciated that, in alternativeembodiments, each system 142 and 144 may form part of a payment servicethat is separate and distinct from the networked system 102. In someembodiments, the payment systems 144 may form part of the publicationsystem 142.

The redirecting system 200 provides functionality operable to performvarious operations for redirecting to a trusted device and facilitatingthe completion of a transaction by a user. For example, the redirectingsystem 200 accesses the user selected data from the databases 126, thethird party servers 130, the publication system 120, and other sources.In some example embodiments, the redirecting system 200 identifies oneor more devices trusted by the user for making payments online. In someexample embodiments, the redirecting system 200 communicates with thepublication systems 120 (e.g., accessing item listings) and paymentsystem 122. In an alternative embodiment, the redirecting system 200 maybe a part of the publication system 120 or of the payment system 122.

Further, while the client-server-based network architecture 100 shown inFIG. 1 employs a client-server architecture, the present inventivesubject matter is of course not limited to such an architecture, andcould equally well find application in a distributed, or peer-to-peer,architecture system, for example. The various publication system 142,payment system 144, and redirecting system 200 could also be implementedas standalone software programs, which do not necessarily havenetworking capabilities.

The web client 112 accesses the various publication and payment systems142 and 144 via the web interface supported by the web server 122.Similarly, the programmatic client 116 accesses the various services andfunctions provided by the publication and payment systems 142 and 144via the programmatic interface provided by the API server 120. Theprogrammatic client 116 may, for example, be a seller application (e.g.,the Turbo Lister application developed by eBay® Inc., of San Jose,Calif.) to enable sellers to author and manage listings on the networkedsystem 102 in an off-line manner, and to perform batch-modecommunications between the programmatic client 116 and the networkedsystem 102.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating components of the redirectingsystem 200, according to some example embodiments. As shown in FIG. 2,the redirecting system 200 includes a status module 210, a deviceidentifying module 220, a communication module 230, a mapping module240, a record updating module 250, and a transaction module 260, allconfigured to communicate with each other (e.g., via a bus, sharedmemory, or a switch).

According to some example embodiments, the status module 210 determinesthat a page involving a transaction is being displayed in a userinterface of a first device. The page involving the transaction may be apayment page for a purchase of a product or service. The page involvingthe transaction may be displayed in the user interface of the firstdevice based on a selection by the user of a representation (e.g., animage or a video) of the product or service.

The status module 210 also detects an interruption of the display of thepage in the user interface of the first device. The status module 210may determine that the user has navigated away from the page. When theuser navigates away and does not pursue a secure exchange of data (e.g.,a payment), such events are identified and captured.

The device identifying module 220 identifies a second device that istrusted by the user. In some example embodiments, the device identifyingmodule 220 determines that the second device has been previously used bythe user to make a payment for a previous purchase.

In certain embodiments, the identifying of the second device that istrusted by the user includes accessing profile data provided by theuser. The profile data may include identifiers of one or more trusteddevices. The identifying of the second device that is trusted by theuser may also include selecting the second device for transmittal of acommunication including a notification based on a device selection rule.For example, a device selection rule specifies that a particular deviceis selected based on whether the user chose the particular device forreceiving notifications. According to another example, a deviceselection rule specifies that only a device that has previously beenused by the user to make payments may be selected.

The communication module 230 transmits a communication including anotification to the second device. The notification indicates (e.g.,references) the transaction. In some instances, the transmitting of thecommunication including the notification to the second device comprisescausing a display of the notification in a user interface of a deviceassociated with the user (e.g., a smart watch associated with the user).

In some embodiments, the communication is a first communication. Thecommunication module 230 may receive a further communication from thefirst device. The further communication includes login data thatidentifies the user. The further communication may also include devicedata that identifies the first device.

In certain embodiments, the communication module 230 transmits a secondcommunication to the first device. The second communication includes arequest for the user to identify one or more other devices for receivingnotifications. The communication module 230 may receive a thirdcommunication from the first device. The third communication istransmitted by the first device in response to the second communicationfrom the first device. The third communication identifies one or moreother devices for receiving notifications. For example, the thirdcommunication includes one or more references to one or more otherdevices to receive notifications. In some instances, the one or moreother devices are devices that the user trusts for completing atransaction (e.g., providing billing information, shipping information,or other personal or financial information).

In some embodiments, the communication module 230 transmits analternative second communication to the first device. The alternativesecond communication includes a request for the user to select, from oneor more devices associated with the user, a particular device fortransmittal of the notification. The communication module 230 mayreceive an alternative third communication that includes a selection, bythe user, of the second device for the transmittal of the notification.The alternative third communication may be transmitted by the firstdevice in response to the alternative second communication from thefirst device.

The mapping module 240 associates the first device with the user basedon the login data, the device data received from the first device, orboth. The mapping is stored as a database record for later use.

The record updating module 250 updates the information associated withthe user to indicate that the one or more devices are trusted devices.For example, the record updating module 250 identifies a recordassociated with payment information for the user and tags (or marks orotherwise identifies) an identifier of a particular device preferred bythe user for payments. The record updating module 250 may, upon thedevice identifying module 220 identifying the second device as trustedfor making payments, update a database record that associates the userwith one or more devices trusted for payment to include the seconddevice.

The transaction module 260 facilitates the completion of a transactionby the user. In some example embodiments, the transaction module 260facilitates a payment by the user for the product or service from thesecond device without additional authentication of the user.

To perform one or more of its functionalities, the redirecting system200 communicates with one or more other systems. For example, anintegration engine (not shown) may integrate the redirecting system 200with one or more email server(s), web server(s), one or more databases,or other servers, systems, or repositories.

Any one or more of the modules described herein may be implemented usinghardware (e.g., one or more processors of a machine) or a combination ofhardware and software. For example, any module described herein mayconfigure a processor (e.g., among one or more processors of a machine)to perform the operations described herein for that module. In someexample embodiments, any one or more of the modules described herein maycomprise one or more hardware processors and may be configured toperform the operations described herein. In certain example embodiments,one or more hardware processors are configured to include any one ormore of the modules described herein.

Moreover, any two or more of these modules may be combined into a singlemodule, and the functions described herein for a single module may besubdivided among multiple modules. Furthermore, according to variousexample embodiments, modules described herein as being implementedwithin a single machine, database, or device may be distributed acrossmultiple machines, databases, or devices. The multiple machines,databases, or devices are communicatively coupled to enablecommunications between the multiple machines, databases, or devices. Themodules themselves are communicatively coupled (e.g., via appropriateinterfaces) to each other and to various data sources to allowinformation to be passed between the applications and to allow theapplications to share and access common data. Furthermore, the modulesmay access one or more of the databases 126.

Example Mobile Device

FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating a mobile device 800, according toan example embodiment. The mobile device 800 may include a processor802. The processor 802 may be any of a variety of different types ofcommercially available processors 802 suitable for mobile devices 800(for example, an XScale architecture microprocessor, a microprocessorwithout interlocked pipeline stages (MIPS) architecture processor, oranother type of processor 802). A memory 804, such as a random accessmemory (RAM), a flash memory, or other type of memory, is typicallyaccessible to the processor 802. The memory 804 may be adapted to storean operating system (OS) 806, as well as application programs 808, suchas a mobile location enabled application that may provide LBSs to auser. The processor 802 may be coupled, either directly or viaappropriate intermediary hardware, to a display 810 and to one or moreinput/output (I/O) devices 812, such as a keypad, a touch panel sensor,a microphone, and the like. Similarly, in some embodiments, theprocessor 802 may be coupled to a transceiver 814 that interfaces withan antenna 816. The transceiver 814 may be configured to both transmitand receive cellular network signals, wireless data signals, or othertypes of signals via the antenna 816, depending on the nature of themobile device 800. Further, in some configurations, a GPS receiver 818may also make use of the antenna 816 to receive GPS signals.

Modules, Components, and Logic

Certain embodiments are described herein as including logic or a numberof components, modules, or mechanisms. Modules may constitute eithersoftware modules (e.g., code embodied on a machine-readable medium) orhardware modules. A “hardware module” is a tangible unit capable ofperforming certain operations and may be configured or arranged in acertain physical manner. In various example embodiments, one or morecomputer systems (e.g., a standalone computer system, a client computersystem, or a server computer system) or one or more hardware modules ofa computer system (e.g., a processor or a group of processors) may beconfigured by software (e.g., an application or application portion) asa hardware module that operates to perform certain operations asdescribed herein.

In some embodiments, a hardware module may be implemented mechanically,electronically, or any suitable combination thereof. For example, ahardware module may include dedicated circuitry or logic that ispermanently configured to perform certain operations. For example, ahardware module may be a special-purpose processor, such as aField-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or an Application SpecificIntegrated Circuit (ASIC). A hardware module may also includeprogrammable logic or circuitry that is temporarily configured bysoftware to perform certain operations. For example, a hardware modulemay include software executed by a general-purpose processor or otherprogrammable processor. Once configured by such software, hardwaremodules become specific machines (or specific components of a machine)uniquely tailored to perform the configured functions and are no longergeneral-purpose processors. It will be appreciated that the decision toimplement a hardware module mechanically, in dedicated and permanentlyconfigured circuitry, or in temporarily configured circuitry (e.g.,configured by software) may be driven by cost and time considerations.

Accordingly, the phrase “hardware module” should be understood toencompass a tangible entity, be that an entity that is physicallyconstructed, permanently configured (e.g., hardwired), or temporarilyconfigured (e.g., programmed) to operate in a certain manner or toperform certain operations described herein. As used herein,“hardware-implemented module” refers to a hardware module. Consideringembodiments in which hardware modules are temporarily configured (e.g.,programmed), each of the hardware modules need not be configured orinstantiated at any one instance in time. For example, where a hardwaremodule comprises a general-purpose processor configured by software tobecome a special-purpose processor, the general-purpose processor may beconfigured as respectively different special-purpose processors (e.g.,comprising different hardware modules) at different times. Softwareaccordingly configures a particular processor or processors, forexample, to constitute a particular hardware module at one instance oftime and to constitute a different hardware module at a differentinstance of time.

Hardware modules can provide information to, and receive informationfrom, other hardware modules. Accordingly, the described hardwaremodules may be regarded as being communicatively coupled. Where multiplehardware modules exist contemporaneously, communications may be achievedthrough signal transmission (e.g., over appropriate circuits and buses)between or among two or more of the hardware modules. In embodiments inwhich multiple hardware modules are configured or instantiated atdifferent times, communications between such hardware modules may beachieved, for example, through the storage and retrieval of informationin memory structures to which the multiple hardware modules have access.For example, one hardware module may perform an operation and store theoutput of that operation in a memory device to which it iscommunicatively coupled. A further hardware module may then, at a latertime, access the memory device to retrieve and process the storedoutput. Hardware modules may also initiate communications with input oroutput devices, and can operate on a resource (e.g., a collection ofinformation).

The various operations of example methods described herein may beperformed, at least partially, by one or more processors that aretemporarily configured (e.g., by software) or permanently configured toperform the relevant operations. Whether temporarily or permanentlyconfigured, such processors may constitute processor-implemented modulesthat operate to perform one or more operations or functions describedherein. As used herein, “processor-implemented module” refers to ahardware module implemented using one or more processors.

Similarly, the methods described herein may be at least partiallyprocessor-implemented, with a particular processor or processors beingan example of hardware. For example, at least some of the operations ofa method may be performed by one or more processors orprocessor-implemented modules. Moreover, the one or more processors mayalso operate to support performance of the relevant operations in a“cloud computing” environment or as a “software as a service” (SaaS).For example, at least some of the operations may be performed by a groupof computers (as examples of machines including processors), with theseoperations being accessible via a network (e.g., the Internet) and viaone or more appropriate interfaces (e.g., an Application ProgramInterface (API)).

The performance of certain of the operations may be distributed amongthe processors, not only residing within a single machine, but deployedacross a number of machines. In some example embodiments, the processorsor processor-implemented modules may be located in a single geographiclocation (e.g., within a home environment, an office environment, or aserver farm). In other example embodiments, the processors orprocessor-implemented modules may be distributed across a number ofgeographic locations.

Machine and Software Architecture

The modules, methods, applications and so forth described in conjunctionwith FIGS. 9-10 are implemented in some embodiments in the context of amachine and associated software architecture. The sections belowdescribe representative software architecture(s) and machine (e.g.,hardware) architecture that are suitable for use with the disclosedembodiments.

Software architectures are used in conjunction with hardwarearchitectures to create devices and machines tailored to particularpurposes. For example, a particular hardware architecture coupled with aparticular software architecture will create a mobile device, such as amobile phone, tablet device, or so forth. A slightly different hardwareand software architecture may yield a smart device for use in the“internet of things.” While yet another combination produces a servercomputer for use within a cloud computing architecture. Not allcombinations of such software and hardware architectures are presentedhere as those of skill in the art can readily understand how toimplement the invention in different contexts from the disclosurecontained herein.

Software Architecture

FIG. 9 is a block diagram 900 illustrating a representative softwarearchitecture 902, which may be used in conjunction with various hardwarearchitectures herein described. FIG. 9 is merely a non-limiting exampleof a software architecture and it will be appreciated that many otherarchitectures may be implemented to facilitate the functionalitydescribed herein. The software architecture 902 may be executing onhardware such as machine 1000 of FIG. 10 that includes, among otherthings, processors 1010, memory 1030, and I/O components 1050. Arepresentative hardware layer 904 is illustrated and can represent, forexample, the machine 1000 of FIG. 10. The representative hardware layer904 comprises one or more processing units 906 having associatedexecutable instructions 908. Executable instructions 908 represent theexecutable instructions of the software architecture 902, includingimplementation of the methods, modules and so forth of FIGS. 2-7.Hardware layer 904 also includes memory and/or storage modules 910,which also have executable instructions 908. Hardware layer 904 may alsocomprise other hardware as indicated by 912 which represents any otherhardware of the hardware layer 904, such as the other hardwareillustrated as part of machine 1000.

In the example architecture of FIG. 9, the software 902 may beconceptualized as a stack of layers where each layer provides particularfunctionality. For example, the software 902 may include layers such asan operating system 914, libraries 916, frameworks/middleware 918,applications 920 and presentation layer 922. Operationally, theapplications 920 and/or other components within the layers may invokeapplication programming interface (API) calls 924 through the softwarestack and receive a response, returned values, and so forth illustratedas messages 926 in response to the API calls 924. The layers illustratedare representative in nature, and not all software architectures haveall layers. For example, some mobile or special purpose operatingsystems may not provide a frameworks/middleware layer 918, while othersmay provide such a layer. Other software architectures may includeadditional or different layers.

The operating system 914 may manage hardware resources and providecommon services. The operating system 914 may include, for example, akernel 928, services 930, and drivers 932. The kernel 928 may act as anabstraction layer between the hardware and the other software layers.For example, the kernel 928 may be responsible for memory management,processor management (e.g., scheduling), component management,networking, security settings, and so on. The services 930 may provideother common services for the other software layers. The drivers 932 maybe responsible for controlling or interfacing with the underlyinghardware. For instance, the drivers 932 may include display drivers,camera drivers, Bluetooth® drivers, flash memory drivers, serialcommunication drivers (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB) drivers), Wi-Fi®drivers, audio drivers, power management drivers, and so forth dependingon the hardware configuration.

The libraries 916 may provide a common infrastructure that may beutilized by the applications 920 and/or other components and/or layers.The libraries 916 typically provide functionality that allows othersoftware modules to perform tasks in an easier fashion than to interfacedirectly with the underlying operating system 914 functionality (e.g.,kernel 928, services 930 and/or drivers 932). The libraries 916 mayinclude system 934 libraries (e.g., C standard library) that may providefunctions such as memory allocation functions, string manipulationfunctions, mathematic functions, and the like. In addition, thelibraries 916 may include API libraries 936 such as media libraries(e.g., libraries to support presentation and manipulation of variousmedia format such as MPREG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG), graphicslibraries (e.g., an OpenGL framework that may be used to render 2D and3D in a graphic content on a display), database libraries (e.g., SQLitethat may provide various relational database functions), web libraries(e.g., WebKit that may provide web browsing functionality), and thelike. The libraries 916 may also include a wide variety of otherlibraries 938 to provide many other APIs to the applications 920 andother software components/modules.

The frameworks 918 (also sometimes referred to as middleware) mayprovide a higher-level common infrastructure that may be utilized by theapplications 920 and/or other software components/modules. For example,the frameworks 918 may provide various graphic user interface (GUI)functions, high-level resource management, high-level location services,and so forth. The frameworks 918 may provide a broad spectrum of otherAPIs that may be utilized by the applications 920 and/or other softwarecomponents/modules, some of which may be specific to a particularoperating system or platform.

The applications 920 include built-in applications 940, third partyapplications 942, and payment redirecting modules 944 (e.g., paymentstatus module 210, device identifying module 220, communication module230, mapping module 240, record updating module 250, or transactionmodule 260). Examples of representative built-in applications 940 mayinclude, but are not limited to, a contacts application, a browserapplication, a book reader application, a location application, a mediaapplication, a messaging application, and/or a game application. Thirdparty applications 942 may include any of the built in applications aswell as a broad assortment of other applications. In a specific example,the third party application 942 (e.g., an application developed usingthe Android™ or iOS™ software development kit (SDK) by an entity otherthan the vendor of the particular platform) may be mobile softwarerunning on a mobile operating system such as iOS™, Android™, Windows®Phone, or other mobile operating systems. In this example, the thirdparty application 942 may invoke the API calls 924 provided by themobile operating system such as operating system 914 to facilitatefunctionality described herein.

The applications 920 may utilize built in operating system functions(e.g., kernel 928, services 930 and/or drivers 932), libraries (e.g.,system 934, APIs 936, and other libraries 938), frameworks/middleware918 to create user interfaces to interact with users of the system.Alternatively, or additionally, in some systems interactions with a usermay occur through a presentation layer, such as presentation layer 944.In these systems, the application/module “logic” can be separated fromthe aspects of the application/module that interact with a user.

Some software architectures utilize virtual machines. In the example ofFIG. 9, this is illustrated by virtual machine 948. A virtual machinecreates a software environment where applications/modules can execute asif they were executing on a hardware machine (such as the machine ofFIG. 10, for example). A virtual machine is hosted by a host operatingsystem (operating system 914 in FIG. 10) and typically, although notalways, has a virtual machine monitor 946, which manages the operationof the virtual machine as well as the interface with the host operatingsystem (i.e., operating system 914). A software architecture executeswithin the virtual machine such as an operating system 950, libraries952, frameworks/middleware 954, applications 956 and/or presentationlayer 958. These layers of software architecture executing within thevirtual machine 948 can be the same as corresponding layers previouslydescribed or may be different.

FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating components of a machine 1000,according to some example embodiments, able to read instructions from amachine-readable medium (e.g., a machine-readable storage medium) andperform any one or more of the methodologies discussed herein.Specifically, FIG. 10 shows a diagrammatic representation of the machine1000 in the example form of a computer system, within which instructions1016 (e.g., software, a program, an application, an applet, an app, orother executable code) for causing the machine 1000 to perform any oneor more of the methodologies discussed herein may be executed. Forexample the instructions may cause the machine to execute the flowdiagrams of FIGS. 3-7. Additionally, or alternatively, the instructionsmay implement the payment status module 210, the device identifyingmodule 220, the communication module 230, the mapping module 240, therecord updating module 250, and the transaction module 260 of FIG. 2.The instructions transform the general, non-programmed machine into aparticular machine programmed to carry out the described and illustratedfunctions in the manner described. In alternative embodiments, themachine 1000 operates as a standalone device or may be coupled (e.g.,networked) to other machines.

The term“processor” is intended to include multi-core processor that maycomprise two or more independent processors (sometimes referred to as“cores”) that may execute instructions contemporaneously. Although FIG.10 shows multiple processors, the machine 1000 may include a singleprocessor with a single core, a single processor with multiple cores(e.g., a multi-core process), multiple processors with a single core,multiple processors with multiples cores, or any combination thereof.

The memory/storage 1030 may include a memory 1032, such as a mainmemory, or other memory storage, and a storage unit 1036, bothaccessible to the processors 1010 such as via the bus 1002. The storageunit 1036 and memory 1032 store the instructions 1016 embodying any oneor more of the methodologies or functions described herein. Theinstructions 1016 may also reside, completely or partially, within thememory 1032, within the storage unit 1036, within at least one of theprocessors 1010 (e.g., within the processor's cache memory), or anysuitable combination thereof, during execution thereof by the machine1000. Accordingly, the memory 1032, the storage unit 1036, and thememory of processors 1010 are examples of machine-readable media.

As used herein, “machine-readable medium” means a device able to storeinstructions and data temporarily or permanently and may include, but isnot be limited to, random-access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM),buffer memory, flash memory, optical media, magnetic media, cachememory, other types of storage (e.g., Erasable Programmable Read-OnlyMemory (EEPROM)) and/or any suitable combination thereof. The term“machine-readable medium” should be taken to include a single medium ormultiple media (e.g., a centralized or distributed database, orassociated caches and servers) able to store instructions 1016. The term“machine-readable medium” shall also be taken to include any medium, orcombination of multiple media, that is capable of storing instructions(e.g., instructions 1016) for execution by a machine (e.g., machine1000), such that the instructions, when executed by one or moreprocessors of the machine 1000 (e.g., processors 1010), cause themachine 1000 to perform any one or more of the methodologies describedherein. Accordingly, a “machine-readable medium” refers to a singlestorage apparatus or device, as well as “cloud-based” storage systems orstorage networks that include multiple storage apparatus or devices. Theterm “machine-readable medium” excludes signals per se.

The I/O components 1050 may include a wide variety of components toreceive input, provide output, produce output, transmit information,exchange information, capture measurements, and so on. The specific I/Ocomponents 1050 that are included in a particular machine will depend onthe type of machine. For example, portable machines such as mobilephones will likely include a touch input device or other such inputmechanisms, while a headless server machine will likely not include sucha touch input device. It will be appreciated that the I/O components1050 may include many other components that are not shown in FIG. 10.The I/O components 1050 are grouped according to functionality merelyfor simplifying the following discussion and the grouping is in no waylimiting.
